Yeah it doesn't look like a ego. I'll say it's a 650mah. Can't tell if it's thicker then a ego and I only have ego twist to measure. I also measured from the top of the connection to the base.
New to vaping, feedback on first ecig?

I'm guessing a smaller battery means not a lot of mah, but I may not need a bigger battery. I like the compact size, I like the look and feel, and they have lasted me the last 24 hours without needing to be charged, although I am alternating between the two so...
It could very well be a clone, but at that length it's probably the 650 (I'm only guessing, however).
If two--1,300--have gone 24 hours, one would go at least 12. You're probably fine on that size.
And if you like it, there's no reason to change anyway. Not everybody likes the Sharpie-marker sized batteries.
The Twist and the Spinner are both longer at a given mAh rating than the standard eGo because they have to fit the variable voltage module in there. It's not extreme.
I found their website, positive this is the kit I bought:
smokingrevolutionecig.com/disposable-e-cigs/cv-sr-2-double-kit
Website calls them sr2, is that different than t2?

2 650 mah batteries are a good starting point. 1100 mah batteries will last longer on a charge but so long as you keep one fully charged you'll be fine. I can almost make the writing out on the bottom of the tank and I think it may be a( gbt grt) Eek I can't remember.
This is a t2 tank https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10004861/1514600-authentic-t2-clearomizer-2-4ml
A lot of kits combine the name of the topper (clearo, carto, whatever) they're using with the eGo to indicate the contents of the whole package. It's confusing.
A T2 is: Kanger T2 EgO Clearomizer Tank System
Even there, they call it the eGo T2 because it fits on any eGo-style battery (there are several different battery styles, eGo is the most common and easiest to source right now).
As to exactly which eGo battery that is (and there are many), I'm not sure. I'm not an eGo aficionado. Regardless, any topper that says it's for the eGo or that has a 510 threading will fit your model.
I'm still pretty new to the world of vaping, but based on what I've learned so far, more VG gives more vapor, while more PG gives a stronger throat hit. A VG-only juice should give you tons of vapor (especially with a good rig like yours), but only a very mild throat hit. Granted, learning to vape properly takes some time, and still being in a learning phase will result in inconsistent amounts of vapor and throat hit with each inhale. That's how it was for me until I had been doing it for a couple of weeks.
Or maybe the guy who sold you the e-liquids meant they were PG-only...? (I know this is unlikely, but it may be worth considering as a possibility.)
It's not a ego. 750 mah battery. You'll be good with that. Congrats on purchase

From the website, looks like the batteries are 750 mah. And the coils are on the bottom of the clearomizer, which is preferable right? The tank is 2.4 ml which is pretty average from what I gather. How often should I change out the wicks? And I've read not to let my tank get below 0.6 ml, is that correct? And how often do i have to replace the tank?
Personal preference. I like BCC (bottom coil), others like top coil with wicks. Others like cartomizer tanks. And so on.
Bottom coils do have a greater tendency to be a bit leaky and give drowned hits than any of the others. They're far less likely than the others to give a dry hit.
The physical plastic tank is essentially immortal until broken, and I have a few that are going well past a year. I do make a habit of cleaning mine after every use and rotating my tanks (I have 12). Some liquids may damage the tank, most notably strong menthols and strong cinnamons, although I've never had a problem with either myself.
You can let the tank go below 0.6 ml, but you do run the risk of a dry hit doing that--you might run it dry. I do that occasionally, it's nasty but no harm done.
How long a wick/atomizer lasts you depends very much on how much you vape and your sensitivity to coil flavor changes. I run about 50 ml through any given coil before rebuilding it--about 5 days of total use in my case. You may find you're more or less sensitive to coil changes as they age and choose to replace them more or less often than I do.
Ego doesn't make a 750 mah battery that I'm aware of. It also doesn't mean that the one you have is a bad one. The bottom line is to end the smoking madness. I really think you'll be good with what you have. Your way ahead of the game from a "cig type" of ecig.
Thank you legolas. My grandfather died of lung cancer when he was in his 40's, and I have a hereditary blood clotting disorder that makes me particularly sensitive to blood clots from nicotene (plan on working my way down to 0 nicotene). Between that and having a 3 month old son... I don't smoke inside with him so I would step outside for a smoke and would worry the whole time about leaving him alone unattended (although i would lay him somewhere safe and watch him through the window), and was worried about thirdhand smoke on my clothes and hair.
So I probably especially have more reasons than most to quit. And so far the vaping is helping.

They look like top coil clearos. If the wicks are hanging down from the top then they are top coil. Bottom coil you will see little to no wick. Both work fine. I use bottom coil myself when not using rba's but I have used top coil too. The big difference in vaping them is the top coil you need to tilt when your juice gets low. Bottom coils can leak when they get low but not all do. So pick your poison. Check search in here and read up on both or either. There are many opinions and suggestions.
10mL per day? Wow - I've been averaging about 2mL per day and thinking I should get that down to about 1.5. Don't ask me why - it just seemed prudent for some reason. So if 2mL per day isn't much at all, then I can vape more rather than less. Good! The more I can vape, the happier I am.
(Sorry for the OT.)
Your little one is adorable. Photo bucket you posted had a picture. Make sure you keep all your vaping gear and juice up and out of reach, preferably locked up. I wish you luck with your vaping journey. It's a blast so have fun with it and keep on the quest. Your doing this not only for you but for the little guy. Good luck and post up anything that you have questions on.
Welcome to the forums
Don't alternate between batteries. I made that mistake long ago. There's not much worse then 2 dead batteries, it sucks watching batteries charge and wanting a vape.
I figured that would be a problem, I liked switching between flavors though
I'm actually charging one of them even though it's not dead yet. And wow, 10ml/day? Between the two of them I've vaped probably about 1ml since i bought them yesterday afternoon, but last night I did some analogues because some friends and I were having some drinks so we'll see how much i actually end up vaping when I am strictly vaping. I was worried I was vaping too much, now I know not to worry - Status
